About this section

This lifestyle block of 11.6390ha (more or less) is a mixture of bush, grass, flat land and some hills. Perfect for a retreat with beautiful stands of native bush with a stream running through it and for those that want privacy but want to be handy to town. A large portion of the land is flat which is not able to be built on but is perfect for grazing. There are some good building sites at the other end of the property. The land has two accesses which may be good for the future. Seldom do you find a block of land this size and this close to town, close to the Bay of Islands Airport that offers you seclusion.

Redefinition survey

Unlikely needed

Based on plan age + survey class

Survey data from LINZ Landonline. A surveyor's boundary redefinition can cost $3–10k+ depending on site conditions — factor it in if you plan to build close to a boundary and existing marks are damaged or missing.
